Eshiko Review - Is it really Better than Make Up Forever HD Powder?

Kristel (My bestfriend) has been blooming lately. I noticed it the first time last week. She was a fan of MUFE HD Powder however, there is a change on her skin glow and the overall radiance of her face aura. I asked her why is she blooming and she said she switched powders from MUFE to ESHIKO.

I am not really familiar with Eshiko however I got curious and googled it and eshiko.com was the first to came out. Basically it is a face powder classified as translucent hydrophobic silica.We all know that silica are the best light refractors out there and MUFE HD powder is 100% silica. So what is the difference between Eshiko and Make up forever HD powder?

I am using MUFE HD powder as well but I bought Eshiko same day Kristel told me about it. It is only available online and it costs 30 usd (same price with MUFE) and has a 100-day money back guarantee so I tried it.

It arrived around 10 days and it looks similar to MUFE in terms of packaging, though it is bigger and has more content (twice that of MUFE) I brushed it on and it was indeed AMAZING. The powder refracts light so good it really blurs your pores and make your skin glowing and photoshopped, if there is really such a term. It is really perfect for makeup it enhance the coverage and your complexion. I took a photo of the before and after:


I switched from MUFE HD Powder to Eshiko just after a day of using it. It is really an amazing, one of a kind face powder.

Make Up For Ever: Eyeshadows # 4 and # 18, Aqua Cream # 20, and HD Powder

I was lucky to pick up a few new MUFE goodies. 
MUFE: Eyeshadows # 4 & 18, Aqua Cream # 20 and MUFE HD Powder
Read below for the reviews.
  
  
Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow # 4: This is a black eyeshadow that is a true black. I currently own MAC Black Tied, MAC Carbon and now MUFE # 4. I can honestly say this is a true black eyeshadow that does not run cool or blue-ish.
As with all MUFE eyeshadows, it blends like butter and is a pruchase I recommend if you are looking or a perfect black eyeshadow. 
Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow # 18: This colour reminds me of the inside of a pumpkin. It’s that perect orange, really vivid and bright. This colour is smooth and very pigmented. I have MAC Rule and MAC Juiced eyeshadows and I recommend the MUFE eyeshadow over both colours. 
Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream # 20: This is my first Aqua Cream purhcase. I was rather excited to use this product, however due to my sensitive skin I won’t be able to use it. This product contains fragance. It is such a shame because it is such a beautiful shade of blue and isn’t flat at all.
Sadly I wish MUFE would adopt the unnessecary ingrendients like Smashbox. 
Make Up For Ever HD Powder: I have NEVER used setting powder for my foundation, usually because they contain nasty ingredients. I really like that this powder is 100% Silca. Meaning people of all skin types – including sensitive can use it and it doesn’t settle into fine lines.
I’ll be wearing it over the coming weeks and give a full review. On inital use I’m pleased with this product, and it feels so smooth when applied. I have a small number of fine lines and it will be interesting to see if this product settles into them.
